Simple, robust design. Accurate and repeatable results.
PCI is developing a highly innovative advanced fuel quality analyzer for quickly and accurately measuring the cetane number (CN) of diesel, jet fuels, and bio-diesels. It performs a direct analysis of the fuel to provide an accurate measurement of the cetane number – as compared to inferring the CN with a cetane index methodology. This device replaces alternative measurement technologies that are expensive, time consuming and that require skilled operators.
- Robust calibration consistent with ASTM Standards D-613 and D-6890 process test results
- Accurate on fuels containing cetane additives/enhancers
- Measurement based on fuel combustion properties and proprietary algorithms
PCI’s device has wide application in the manufacture of fuels to improve process and cost efficiencies, as well as with end-users to improve operations and maintain fuel integrity.
Fuel production applications: Pre-process (input material validation), In-process (quality monitoring) and Post-process (product verification)
End-user applications: in-field fuel quality verification, stored fuel integrity, laboratory fuel analysis, quality check on spot-purchased fuel, etc.
Future development of the product will extend its capabilities to the measurement of octane in gasoline.
